Walnut Solid Wood Worktop

Deep chocolate-brown walnut in full-length staves, streaked with darker tones for a rich, dramatic look. These solid wood worktops come in 40mm or 30mm, from 2m to 4.1m, with a matching upstand. Supplied unfinished at 650mm deep, ready to oil.

Size

What's an upstand?

Upstand, 100mm highWorktop 100mm high 22mm thick Silicone bead 600mm deep worktop Wall

What it is

A 100mm-high strip in Walnut, the same decor as your worktop. It sits along the back edge of the worktop, against the wall.

Why you need one

Walls are rarely straight, so there's nearly always a gap between worktop and wall. An upstand covers it, stops water and crumbs getting down the back, and gives a neat finished line. It's the simplest, cheapest way to finish a worktop.

Sizes

    Most kitchens need one length per wall run.

    Fitting

    Cut it to length with a fine-tooth saw and bond it to the wall with grab adhesive. Run a bead of clear or matching silicone along the bottom edge, and finish any exposed ends with an end cap.

    Upstand or splashback?

    Choose an upstand if you're tiling above the worktop, or want the cheapest neat finish. Choose a splashback behind the hob or sink, or if you want no tiles at all. Lots of kitchens use both.

    What's a splashback?

    Splashbackupstand heightHob and oven 640mm high 10mm thick Worktop Wall

    What it is

    A full-height panel in Walnut, the same decor as your worktop, fixed to the wall behind the hob or sink.

    Why choose one

    One continuous wipe-clean surface with no grout lines, so there's nothing to stain or scrub between tiles. It protects the wall from splashes and cooking grease, and makes the worktop and wall look like one piece.

    Sizes

      Behind a hob

      Check the minimum clearance to a laminate panel in your hob's installation manual. Gas hobs usually need more space, or a heat-resistant panel behind the burners.

      Fitting

      Cut it to size and bond it to a flat, sound wall with panel adhesive. Seal the bottom edge to the worktop with silicone.

      Upstand or splashback?

      Choose an upstand if you're tiling above the worktop, or want the cheapest neat finish. Choose a splashback behind the hob or sink, or if you want no tiles at all. Lots of kitchens use both.

      What's an edging strip?

      BeforeCut end: barechipboard core AfterEdging strip,45mm wide, coversa cut end

      What it is

      A strip in Walnut that covers the cut end of the worktop. It comes pre-glued, or is fixed with contact adhesive.

      When you need it

      Whenever a cut end is on show: at the end of a run, on a breakfast bar, or anywhere you've cut a length down.

      Sizes

        Fitting

        1. Glue Spread contact adhesive on the end and the strip, or warm a pre-glued strip.
        2. Press Press it on firmly from the middle outwards, with a block of wood.
        3. Trim and file Trim the overhang with a sharp blade, then file the edges down at a slight angle.

        What are joining strips?

        Corner strip (L-shape)Straight stripSeen from above Aluminium strip38mm worktop: use the38mm stripWorktopWorktop

        What it is

        An aluminium strip that joins two worktop lengths without a router or jig. The web slips between the two ends and the cap covers the joint.

        Straight or corner

        Straight: joins two lengths in a line. Corner: makes an L-shaped join where two runs meet.

        Sizes

          Match the strip to your worktop's thickness: a 38mm strip for a 38mm worktop.

          The alternative

          A mason's mitre gives a seamless corner, but it needs a worktop jig and a router. See both options in our fitting guide.

          What are end caps?

          BeforeAfterExposed endEnd capScrewed over therounded profile Left end capRight end capYou, facing the worktopWall

          What it is

          An aluminium cap that finishes the exposed end of a postformed worktop, following its rounded front edge.

          Left or right?

          Stand facing the worktop. If the exposed end is on your left, you need a left end cap; if it's on your right, a right end cap.

          Sizes

            Match the cap to your worktop's thickness.

            Fitting

            Hold the cap against the end, drill small pilot holes and screw it on. A thin bead of silicone behind it keeps water out of the end.

            What's in the joint kit?

            3 connector boltsJoint sealant Seen from underneathBolts pull the joint tight;sealant keeps water out

            What's in it

            Three connector bolts and a tube of joint sealant: everything to hold one worktop joint together.

            What it's for

            The bolts sit in pockets cut underneath both worktops and pull the joint tight. The sealant goes on the joint faces first, so water can't get into the core.

            How many?

            One kit per worktop joint.

              Care and cleaning

              Oil walnut every few months to keep its depth of colour, and more often near the sink. Wipe water away at once and use a trivet and a chopping board. Sand marks lightly, then re-oil the area.

              Which edge?

              • Postformed: the laminate wraps a soft, rounded front. Classic and hard-wearing.
              • Square edge: a sharp, modern line with a matching edge strip.
              • Compact: 12mm solid board, slim and waterproof.
              More on edges and thickness

              Fitting in four steps

              • Measure, then cut face down with a fine-tooth blade.
              • Lay it on the units and screw up through the brackets.
              • Seal the cut edges, then fit the upstand and end caps.
              Read the full fitting guide

              How to measure

              • Measure each wall run along the back, in millimetres.
              • Add about 50mm to every run so you can trim to a clean fit.
              • In an L-shape, let the longest run go into the corner.

              Size guide

              • Worktops come 3000mm or 4100mm long and 600mm deep.
              • Breakfast bars are deeper: 665mm or 900mm, for islands and overhangs.
              • Buy a length that covers your run, then cut it to fit.

              Why you’ll love it

              • Chocolate brown with darker streaks

                The staves run from mid brown to near-black streaks, with the odd small knot. The overall tone is deep and warm, and it draws the eye in a pale kitchen.

              • Oil it to bring out the depth

                Fresh oil deepens the colour across the staves. If the surface picks up marks, sand it back lightly and re-oil it to restore the look.

              • Bar and upstand in walnut

                Order the 3050 x 900 x 40mm breakfast bar or the 3050 x 100 x 25mm upstand to carry the dark timber across an island and up the wall.

              The dark timber that anchors a kitchen

              Walnut gives a kitchen gravity. Against pale cabinets in white, light grey or soft sage, it makes an elegant contrast, and with dark navy or charcoal units it becomes moody and rich. It works as an island top in an otherwise light room. Compared with beech or oak, walnut shows less grain contrast and more depth of colour, so it reads as a single dark surface.

              How dark is walnut?

              It is a deep chocolate brown with darker streaks and the occasional small knot. Oil deepens it further, so it looks richest once it has been oiled.

              Will walnut look too heavy in a small kitchen?

              A dark top can feel substantial in a compact room. Pair it with pale cabinets and light walls, or use the 30mm thickness for a slimmer edge to keep the proportions light.

              Which lengths are listed for walnut?

              The 40mm worktop is 2000, 3050 and 4100mm long, and the 30mm worktop 3050 and 4100mm. All are 650mm deep, and the breakfast bar is 3050 x 900mm.

              Does it need special care around the hob?

              Keep hot pans on a trivet, as with any timber top. Oil regularly and wipe up splashes quickly so the finish stays even close to the cooking area.

              Is walnut delivered finished?

              No. It is unfinished timber, so oil all six faces before fitting and again at regular intervals once the kitchen is in use.

              How does walnut compare with Iroko?

              Iroko is golden brown with visible red-brown blocks, while walnut is a deeper chocolate with darker streaks. Choose walnut for a more uniform, darker look.
